Replicated stone surface

Abstract

A thin layered replicated stone surface comprising a plurality of simulated stones separated by simulated intervening grout lines.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A thin layered replicated stone surface with coloration and texture of natural stone surface with coloration and texture of natural stone comprising a plurality of simulated stones separated by simulated group lines formed by a layer of polymer mortar of less than one quarter inch in thickness adhered to a substrate such as concrete slab with a pigment embedded on the surface of said plurality of simulated stones and said simulated intervening grout lines and sealed with an acrylic polymer sealer to form a wear bearing surface to protect said replicated stone surface from the environment. 
     
     
       2. The thin layered replicated stone surface of claim 1 wherein said polymer mortar is substantially one eighth inch in thickness. 
     
     
       3. The thin layered replicated stone surface of claim 1 wherein said polymer mortar further includes an iron oxide pigment. 
     
     
       4. The thin layered replicated stone surface of claim 3 wherein said polymer mortar further includes a surfactant.
